I always enjoy watching application of Tai Chi. I don't see it very often, and it's so much more... flowing... than the "hard style" of karate that I train.

This is the first person that truly knows the application for the CMC short form other than the people I know. Thanks for sharing. Take Care :-))

Ive been playing CMC for 10 years and this is one of the best application videos in "real time" I have seen....
-
Yes, this is the best tai chi application video that I have ever seen, and the best tai chi player that I have seen on video except for Cheng Man-ch'ing.

@wayfareoftaoism thank you for your views and help

@bobogazungaaa real tai chi is a study of the mind and body together,the applications are used to help you free your mind from getting blocked,all the force comes from mind and than generated from the waist,don,t get confused tai chi is a spiritual art,the martial is the side affect,tai chi has to have soft and hard involved,other words you have to understand this it cannot be read in a book,only a real teacher can show the way,through direct transmission.just contact no blocks ever in tai chi.

Thank you for posting. One of the best application vids on YouTube. Btw have you ever noticed how everyone who practices this art ends up with the same groups of muscles being developed, and that these muscle groups, especially on the arms and legs, are the striking surfaces of the limbs or protect vulnerable areas of the limbs? Amazing physical, mental, and martial discipline. And that is just when you begin. I have a feeling that the spiritual rewards are just as remarkable.

in my opinion chen man ching's yang tai qi is a yin art and should be yielding in other words no pushes or aggressive movements and blocks should be done with just enough pressure for the stuff to be blocked... these applications are more kung fu then chen man chings yang tai chi read his book and pay attention to principles then the applications are there without aggression... yield yield yield, again i say your applications are good for kung fu but not tai qi quan
the "other guy" is me, and I wasn't contributing any force or artifice to the demonstration except to keep my joints in the socket. However far I fly in the video is how far he pushed me.
